Changing Planking Orientation

The angle of the deck planking can be controlled in the Room Specification dialog.

Return to floor plan view and turn on the display of the layer "Framing, Deck Planking" so we can see the angle of the planking in floor plan view.

Select the deck "room". You will likely select an individual plank. Press the Tab key (or click the Select Next Object

edit button) until the room is selected.

Click the Remove Advanced Deck Framing

edit button.

Select the deck "room", click the Open Object

edit button and go to the Deck tab of the Room Specification dialog.

Uncheck the Default checkbox next to Plank Direction, and then change the Plank Direction to 45 degrees. See "Deck Tab".

Click OK to close the Room Specification dialog and return to floor plan view.

While the deck room is still selected, click the Build Advanced Deck Framing

edit button to regenerate the deck planking.
